Dashan, CEO and co-founder of Shuidi Capital, used a long-form interview on Binance Square’s live show Blockchain 100 to lay out how he views crypto, AI, venture investing, and the next phase of digital infrastructure. He said he first encountered Bitcoin in 2011, began mining during his PhD years in 2013, and left Huawei HiSilicon in 2017 to enter the sector full time and launch Shuidi Capital. Since then, the firm has invested in more than 200 projects and has also worked with Taibao Asset Management on multiple digital asset funds. In the interview, Dashan said Shuidi’s partnership with Taibao started in 2022 after the firm moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong and built a compliant LPF structure under tighter mainland restrictions. He described four funds created through that cooperation, covering early-stage venture investments, a secondary-market altcoin strategy that has since been liquidated, a Bitcoin-only vehicle, and an RWA-focused fund. He also explained why Shuidi leaned heavily into BTC Layer 2 in 2024, why he believes strong projects can choose listing over token issuance, and why he does not see AI as a replacement for crypto. Instead, he framed the two as linked pillars of the digital economy. Dashan added that he remains bullish on crypto, said he kept buying Bitcoin from $80,000 down through $70,000 and $60,000 in this cycle, and said his personal BTC holdings are now larger than in the previous one.
